At Home with TooManyThings

	Welcome to TooManyThings. TooManyThings is an art project that as part of its creative agenda co-ordinates events that promote and support independent artists and DIY cultural activities. This co-ordinating activity creates domestic or everyday situations (jumble sales, shopping 'centres', exercise classes, library visits) that facilitate meetings, forums, collaborations and real time making/performative practices. It also helps create links between different organisations who share a 'make', 'do' and 'merge' ethos. TooManyThings was conceived during a conversation between Lady Lucy and Melanie Absolon one day in the Cube back office. The name of this project arose out of a mutual moan about the busyness of our lives and how we could possibly find the time to fit it in amongst the other 'too many things to do'. We spoke about our ideas to Kayle Brandon (because 2 is never enough) who was very enthusiastic and the project was born with a core co-ordinating team of 3. Over the last year or so TooManyThings has hosted a variety of events (see the events section for pics) and has forged supportive links with other organisations and projects - particularly LadyFest Bristol, Here and Bristol Art Library. TooManyThings is based at the Cube Cinema (where Lucy and Kayle mainly reside) but has a nomadic wandering structure that aims to facilitate, observe and emphaise art practices that happen in the ordinary spaces of everyday life (No sacred gallery spaces/ monolithic oil paintings here).
